Abstract:
Active patient participation in the operative and postoperative programme is very important for tenolysis, tendon grafts and joint releases. Different anesthesic means can be used to perform selective sensitive analgesia. Cervical epidural anesthesia was used for fifteen cases of hand surgery. The technique is described, the results are analyzed. Indications and use of cervical epidural anesthesia for hand surgery are discussed.
